Re: Running scheduled tasks

Do I need to be logged in as the Administrator to run scheduled

and when I switch on the pc I am automatically logged on as
Administrator.

With installed programs such as Windows or Norton Anti-Virus, do I
have to manually add them to a scheduled task list or are they
automatically added as Live Updates?

I have been having problems in that neither Windows or Norton
Anti-Virus seem to be automatically updating.

In my scheduled tasks I have added Windows and LiveUpdate (Norton).
Ideally I would just like them to run every time I am logged onto the
Internet - I typically only log on to the Internet for about 15
minutes at a time (to send/ receive emails).

The Task Scheduler asks for "start time" (I put 06:45 as I'm often
online at that time) every day. They have "never" run.

What I am trying to find out is how to get such programs to
automatically go and look for updates every time I go online. Any
ideas please?

There was a time when "scheduled tasks" were inoperative unless the login
scheme you used required a password.

Sorry, that's the only hint I can provide.
